Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

122 pages. Shows that claims about Babylonian origins often lack connection - takes a cl oser look at the oft-quoted The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop providing some much needed clarification on the subject. EXCERPT: Suppose we could go back in t ime--back to the days of ancient Babylon. What kind of religion would we find be ing practiced there? According to Alexander Hislop we would find people attendin g a mass partaking of a little round wafer worshiping a cross going to confessio n being baptized with water for the remission of sins burning wax candles and bo wing before a divine Mother and Child. We would notice that places of worship fe atured a tower. Priests wearing a circular tonsure dressed in black garments wou ld give those who died the last rites. With monks and nuns in abundance the Baby lonians would be practicing essentially all the rites known today in the Roman c atholic Church! According to Alexander Hislop it all started with Nimrod and his wife Semiramis thus the subtitle of The Two Babylons: the Papal Worship Proved to Be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife. But any information about Nimrod and Semiramis in history books is at best sketchy. In the Bible Nimrod the mighty hunter is only mentioned four times--and his wife is never mentioned! Neverthel ess Hislop claims to know all kinds of detailed information about Nimrod and his wife.By now the reader may be asking the obvious question: Where does Hislop get all this information? The answer is clear. Based on mere similarities he me rges a variety of mythological stories together so that the hero in each becomes Nimrod. The Bible says Nimrod was a mighty one; in mythology Hercules was a m ighty one or giant--so Hercules must have been Nimrod! Nimrod was known as a mi.
